Good to WOW Week 16–Family/Friends

I feel entirely unprepared to post this week. It feels like I’ve hardly had time with the camera lately though I know that not to be true. Maybe I feel unprepared because I didn’t look ahead and shoot something specifically for this week’s theme. Yeah. I think that’s it. Not that it’s necessary but it’s nice when I can post something I’ve been thoughtful about. I’ve got a few to put up though. The first three are Rob’s homecoming after being in Guam for almost three weeks.

Getting tackled right after stepping in the door. Had to shoot farther away than I would have liked just so I didn’t miss it.

Giving hugs and kisses. (Sadly, I managed to cut Gabe off, darn it!)

Lifting Gideon up for a great big hug.

This one was Easter morning just before leaving for church. It’s no where near technically perfect. I didn’t notice the red blanket was hanging off the corner of the couch and a bunch off stuff on the coffee table snuck into the frame but I can’t resist the moment that Zion and Gideon are sharing. It draws me in. I don’t even know what they are cracking up about but it must be hilarious. Elias is totally focused on me and Gabe is off in La La Land. How utterly typical of all of them. That’s why I love it, it’s so them.

About our blessings.

Hi and thanks for stopping by! My name is Julie and and I am a wife and stay-at-home mom to four gorgeous children. In May of 2012 Rob and I moved our family from a subdivision to a small acreage and proceeded to add chickens and goats to our family. This year I hope to add a garden to the mix. We ARE busy! But before I am anything, mom, wife, gardener, crazy chicken lady, I am a Christian first and I am constantly amazed at God's blessings. Through good times and bad they can be found and that is something we can rely on. If you're a mom of young children like me, being able to find those blessings when the days are crazy and a peaceful setting is hard to come by makes all the difference in the world and can give us a peaceful heart regardless of what is going on in our world. That is what being wellblessed means to me, it is a state of mind.
